    Ok so a tankie is anyone who questions the baseless assertions of western regimes, the truth isn’t actaully important to you, what matters is whether someone upholds obvious falsehoods and reinforces state propaganda but from the west

          I didn’t call anyone a tankie, a whole bunch of people from hexbear sure did show up feeling incredibly offended by my description of tankies though, if they want to out themselves like that, that’s on them

        “Reading comprehension” is when you accept everything you read at face value, I’m not really surprised that’s something you believe
